Maybe get YouTube tv and then cancel?


“Was raised”

Huh?


DP. I was raised in Indiana. What's wrong with 'was raised'?

It was free. We also don't have cable TV ($$$) but we have a TV.

Going to Hawaii and finding a way to watch the Super Bowl aren’t even remotely the same things.


Okay, we also often can't afford to go to restaurants, or take the train to the zoo, or closer things. In elementary school I kept DD home from school a few times on days she had field trips because I couldn't afford the fees for them. Are those remotely the same things as the superbowl?


Do you always mark everything about yourself?

Do you have a TV? An antenna is very inexpensive.

Oh, then an HD antenna they should buy for future. So easy to plug into TV set


My leaf antenna plugs into the back of my TV set where cable goes. The big square part goes in the window. It couldn't be any easier.

No idea if it's HD, but who cares?

You should have made arrangements for your little Chiefs fan to watch the game with friends, an uncle, a cousin, his "big brother", or last resort, you at a restaurant, back when you first found out the Chiefs would be in the Super Bowl. Next time, mom, think ahead. It's all a work in progress.

NFL+ is $4.99/month. Cancel it after the game is over.

+1 go to a restaurant/bar. There are lots that are family friendly and the atmosphere will be fun.
